World Smallest PC?

While im browsing the net, I came across with this Apple Sized PC, I don’t know if this the worlds smallest PC but it’s still exceedingly small measuring just 52mm x 52mm x 55mm.

It’s called the Space Cube. It has a built-in 300MhZ processor and it’s also equipped with 64MB of SDRAM. There are a bunch of ports, such as USB, Ethernet, Flash memory, a VGA port, serial connection and Audio port.

Space Cube specs:

•   200MHz, 250MHz or 300MHz CPU
•   64MB of DDR SDRAM
•   IEEE1355 (SpaceWire)
•   XGA Video Output (1024×768)
•   USB1.1
•   LAN (100BASE)
•   Audio (Stereo)
•   RS232C
•   JTAG I/F (I’ve no idea what that is)

LG bringing color and flexible e-paper

in Gadgets, Latest Technology, Technology

LG Display says it is developing a new generation of color and flexible e-paper that may go into future products such as e-readers or tablets.

The company expects to begin mass producing 9.7-inch color and 19-inch flexible e-paper, according to an SEC filing it made on Friday. E-paper, or electronic paper, is a display used in e-readers on which text appears as it would on printed paper.

LG introduced the 9.7-inch IPS LCD screen used in Apple's iPad, and remains a main display supplier for the tablet. LG also is one of the suppliers of the 9.7-inch e-paper display Amazon uses in its Kindle DX e-reader.

in Latest Technology, Technology

Light Touch™ is an interactive projector that instantly transforms any flat surface into a touch screen.

Light Touch™ has Holographic Laser Projection (HLP™) technology inside which creates bright, high-quality video images in WVGA resolution. Integrated infrared sensors detect motion and turn the projected image into a 10.1″ virtual touch screen, so the user can control the projector and interact with applications simply by touching the image.

World's smallest digital TV Tuner

in Technology

Sharp developed the world's smallest digital TV tuner. The small module works with Japanese Seg-1 terrestrial digital broadcast (Wansegu).

The Sharp TV tuner module measures only 7.3×7.3×1.25mm. This is small enough that Scalar could integrate it right away into their ultra-lightweight Head mounted displays. Sharp also managed to design the VA3A5JZ912 tuner module to use only 85mW of power. This should increase the battery life when watching TV on a mobile phone.
The mass production will start in September 2007. Sharp plans to make 1 million units per month.
